Courtney Higgins

Founder & Lead Trainer

Meet Courtney, the lead trainer of our North & South Carolina locations  Courtney has always been an animal lover, working in dog kennels, vet clinics, and at horse farms all her life. Her training career sparked when she turned 18 and rescued a dog and people aggressive pit bull boxer mix named Bella. She was the head pet trainer at PetSmart for 5 years, which gave her a great head start into the training world. She got hired on with a local dog training company and worked there for 5 years where she learned how to rehab people and dog aggressive dogs. Courtney started her own venture in 2018 and has helped countless dogs and their families achieve their training goals. Courtney also breeds, shows, and competes with her Golden Retrievers. Check our "Our Goldens" tab! You can always find Courtney with her husband Kent, and her son Mason, at the barn with her horse; always with a dog by her side.

Averiell Osorio

 Trainer 

 Averiell joined our team early 2022. She started off her dog career by mentoring under a breeder and boarding kennel gaining a lot of experience with dog care, socialization, and seeing first hand how dog behavior can be developed early on through puppy raising. She is newly married and enjoys dabbling in dock diving, scent work, conformation and being active with her German Shepherd and her German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab Mix. 

Averiell has experience working with strong willed dogs (and strong minded people alike). With her background in volunteer work with young adults and children she has the patience coaching you but the nudge you need to grow you and your dogs skills. If you are looking to fully immerse your dog into your lifestyle Averiell is ready to help!

Nicole Williams

 Trainer

​​

Nicole joined our team early 2022. What started as a part time position while home schooling her three childrens, quickly evolved into a passion and full time position. Nicole enjoys spending her family, is actively involved in her church; specifically kids ministry, and is passionate about her small breeding program; Allure Goldens. On the weekends you might catch her doing some Karaoke too!

Nicole very much excels at managing life with three kids, and three dogs of her own. If you live a fast paced lifestyle and trying to figure out how to add your dog into it while achieving training results Nicole would be a great lesson coach! If you are looking for a board and train Nicole's home replicates the same hustle and bustle you have at home with multiple children or pets.
